Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!
Chapter 43: Cooperation Ends
When they returned to the church headquarters, they found it had become a sea of joy.
The soldiers hugged each other, threw their helmets into the air, and even sang war songs around them.
In this great battle, they, as mortals, faced a true demon, yet because the demon held the altar the entire time and did not launch a strong attack, they achieved a miraculous victory.
With only a few dozen casualties, they successfully drove away a demon with a true name.
Such a victory is extremely rare in the entire history of humanity's struggle against hell.
The normal exorcism of a true demon often comes at the cost of tens of thousands of soldiers being wiped out and a large number of clergy sacrificing their lives.
"This is too enthusiastic." Benev was a little uncomfortable. Their United Front and the Church were mortal enemies, but they often clashed with the British army and defense forces from all over the country.
Therefore, the blood feud between the two sides could not be fully described even in ten scrolls of parchment.
However, the situation is different in Manchester, as it is one of the United Front's long-standing strongholds. The United Front has infiltrated the city hall, and there are also many United Front agents in the army and defense forces.
Therefore, the United Front did not have any blood feud with the Eighth Regiment.
When they made their way through the crowd and arrived at the command post, they saw Inessa with a slight blush on her face.
"Thank you!" Inessa came up and hugged Ida tightly.
This unexpected move left the multifaceted spy momentarily stunned, before she put on a professional smile.
"I hope we'll have many more opportunities to work together in the future, Sister," Ada said meaningfully.
These words instantly brought Inessa back to her senses.
She relaxed around Ida, her expression regaining its composure: "This is a matter of principle."
"The church will not tolerate your continued presence in Manchester."
One of Inessa's crusader lieutenants tried to say something, but she stopped him with a gesture: "I hope you leave as soon as possible."
After a moment of silence, the cheers celebrating victory outside continued, but inside the command post, the two major factions were on the verge of falling apart.
Joanna glanced at Inessa, then at Ida, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
In the end, she spoke up: "Sister, we were comrades-in-arms after all..."
The Crusader lieutenant beside her looked grave and immediately lowered his voice: "Joanna, watch your words."
"If the court hears you say that, the judge will take you straight to jail."
He then turned to Inessa, his tone grave: "Sister, if we don't take action now, the bishop will surely punish us severely when he returns."
"It will also bring countless troubles to the church."
Ada tilted her head slightly and said calmly, "The measure you're talking about, is it to kill us on the spot?"
Upon hearing this, Belev's face instantly turned cold, and he immediately reached for his holster.
The two crusaders behind Inessa tensed up at the same time, ready to draw their guns.
"Stop!" Inessa coldly shouted.
"Regardless of our identities, we are all human beings at this moment."
"Forty-five years ago, when the United Front was established, the Church also fought alongside you in Crimea against the demon army. This is not without precedent."
"But after that battle, you turned around and began massacring the Church!" the Crusader lieutenant immediately retorted.
"Is this how your history is written?" Ada sneered.
"Isn't the truth that after we single-handedly repelled the demons, you immediately deployed troops to bombard our positions and even dropped poison gas?"
"Lies!" the adjutant said, his expression unchanged. "The United Front is nothing but a bunch of liars."
Seeing the atmosphere between the two sides growing increasingly tense, almost to the point of a fight, Hextech couldn't help but sneer.
"No wonder humanity is being defeated by demons."
"They barely managed to repel a wave of enemies, and they're already in a hurry to settle scores and kill each other. If it were a demon, he'd probably laugh his head off."
This sarcastic remark caused both sides to glare at him angrily.
Inessa, however, raised her hand first to quell the conflict: "Mr. Horus is right."
"Internal strife now will only give the devil a reason to laugh."
"Please leave."
"Joanna, get them to a safe location," Inessa emphasized.
Joanna looked at both sides. She knew that the conflict between them would erupt the moment the Adventists were eliminated, but she was powerless to do anything about it.
A sly smile played on Ada's lips. "Then I'll take my leave."
She waved to signal Benev to get going.
Benev snorted and put the gun back in his pocket.
Emily trembled slightly, bit her lip, and looked at Hextech with a searching look in her eyes.
Hextech thought to himself, "At least this teammate still has some sense of propriety. He didn't just walk away with the United Front. It seems that the previous care he gave him was effective."
Without hesitation, he reached out and gently pushed Emily next to Ida.
"Take good care of her."
These words startled Ada slightly.
"I trust you to take good care of her, rather than leaving her to those other factions," Hex added. "You should understand what I mean."
Ada's expression shifted slightly, and she nodded silently.
Hextech doesn't want to carry around a burden.
Emily's abilities are certainly useful, but she is still in her developmental stage, and he doesn't have enough energy to cultivate and develop them.
Moreover, even if she's far away, Hextech can still earn 10 gold coins every day and enjoy the synergy with her teammates.
Entrusting her to the United Front for training is the most appropriate choice at present.
Moreover, Emily's primordial Christ-like essence is considered utterly rebellious by the Church. If the Church discovers she is a suitable candidate, she will be bound to the cross and burned without hesitation.
"Mr. Horus, what is your decision...?" Ada looked at Hex.
"Sorry, I have my own plans." Hex shook his head.
Ada might still be rational, but most of the United Front members were lunatics, and he didn't want to get too involved with them.
The people on the church side were equally fanatical and extreme, and he didn't want to be bound by them.
Seeing that Hex was unwilling to collude with the United Front, Joanna secretly revealed a hint of joy.
Inessa secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, he was not a member of the United Front.
Ada gave him a deep look: "Then I wish you good luck."
After saying that, he led his men away from the tent.
Ida didn't intend to use the Meta-Christ matrix to blackmail Hex.
In comparison, the secrets of Hextech itself carry far more weight than those of a qualified candidate.
"Good luck, of course I want good luck." Hextech couldn't help but smile.
He can choose a third Hextech, and he can also buy equipment!

The next moment, three streams of light appeared directly in front of him, all of them being prismatic colored steps.
